Description
OWA beer was born in May 2006. It was born and designed for the best Belgium and Japanese fusion food experience. It is indeed a very good combination with SUSHI and YAKITORI (weet soy sauce). The brewery is located in the famous district of Uccle in Brussels, only 2kms from the Moeder Lambic in Saint Gilles. Leo Imai started to brew in December 2008 and in 2009 he made a kitchen laboratory in the brewery, and researched the best marriage with japanese food.

Tasting at Bruce’s Pad. Hazy gold beer with a small cream coloured head. Somewhat of a dusty tasting start. Light woody sourness contrasts with and stands apart from sweet floral cherry blossom. Then the dusty taste comes back. Light crisp finish. A very interesting beer but also a bit messy.

Bottle, big thanks to the Bruce. It pours hazy golden-orange with a small white head. The nose is wood, earth, hay, floral, funky, mild sweetness, plum skin, red grape, light vanilla and toasty coconut. The taste is crisp, sherbet, red grape skin,sour plum skin, wood, floral, lemon sherbet, some bitterness, grass and pinenut (well-put Ken) with a dry, tart finish. Medium body and fine, prickly carbonation. Great tartness without being particularly acidic. Interesting, good depth and very tasty.

Bottle, big thanks to the Deeblo. It pours golden orange with a small white head. The nose is floral (particularly rose), wood, light sherbet, parma violets, cherry blossom and some musty funk in the background. The taste is crisp, floral, sherbet, damp wood, lemon, nice tartness, mild acidity, touch of chalk, lemon sherbet and green apple with a dry, tart finish. Medium body and fine, crisp carbonation. Not to everyone’s taste, but I really enjoyed this.

Nose is cherry blossom alright, sugars, grass, nutty, light berry notes, floral. Taste comprises cherry blossom, rose petal, floral, lightly tartened berry fruit tang.

Bottle shared at Bruce’s in London - thanks to Mr. Bruce. Pours lightly hazy yellow-gold with a frothy white head. Smells good, some grass and wood, mild funk. Light sweet flavor with mild acidity, some lemon, some grassy bitterness, dry wood. Light bodied with fine, caressing carbonation. Clean finish with mild sour bite, good offsetting grassy bitterness, tangy lemon. Lovely stuff.

Flaske (nr.116 av 500, kjøpt på Delices et Carpices) på RB samling hjemme: lite aroma, men fatlagringspreget gir en god og spesiell (engangs)opplevelse. Slanteparty på brygga med Willy: god, men den vet ikke helt hvor den vil.
